Clinical application of cone beam CT in intensity-modulated radiotherapy for the moderate to severe thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. [PDF]
Abstract Background Cone beam CT (CBCT) has been reported for intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) of various cancers due to its real‐time imaging capabilities, but studies on its application in orbital diseases, particularly moderate to severe thyroid‐associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), remain limited.

The Diagnostic Value of Mean Apparent Propagator-MRI in Dysthyroid Optic Neuropathy: A Quantitative Analysis of the Entire Visual Pathway. [PDF]
The diagnostic model combining orbital and intracranial MAP‐MRI parameters could significantly optimize diagnostic efficiency of dysthyroid optic neuropathy. Comprehensive MAP‐MRI parameters analysis of the entire visual pathway enables a deeper understanding of disease involvement, provides novel insights into the early accurate diagnosis and ...

Antagonistic Autoantibodies to Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Receptor Associate with Poor Physical Strength [PDF]
Natural autoantibodies to the IGF1 receptor (IGF1R-aAb) have been described in relation to Graves' ophthalmopathy. Other physiological roles of natural IGF1R-aAb are not known. We hypothesized that IGF1R-aAb may be related to muscle development.

Extraocular muscle sampled volume in Graves' orbitopathy using 3-T fast spin-echo MRI with iterative decomposition of water and fat sequences [PDF]
Background: Current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for measuring extraocular muscle (EOM) volume enlargement are not ideally suited for routine follow-up of Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) because the difficulty of segmenting the muscles at ...

The volume of the levator superior rectus muscle complex was determined from computed tomography scans of 152 orbits from 76 patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy. Clinically observed lid retraction and lid lag did not correlate with the levator/superior rectus muscle volume and did not correlate with limitation of vertical eye movements or inferior ...

Radioiodine Thyroid Ablation in Graves′ Hyperthyroidism: Merits and Pitfalls
Ablative approaches using radioiodine are increasingly proposed for the treatment of Graves′ disease (GD) but their ophthalmologic and biological autoimmune responses remain controversial and data concerning clinical and biochemical outcomes are limited.

Antigen receptor variable region repertoires expressed by T cells infiltrating thyroid, retroorbital, and pretibial tissue in Graves' disease [PDF]
To date, it has remained unclear whether T cells infiltrating thyroid, retroorbital, and pretibial tissue of patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy and pretibial dermopathy represent a primary immune response that is directed against certain antigenic ...

A Genomic Point Mutation in the Extracellular Domain of the Thyrotropin Receptor in Patients with Graves’ Ophthalmopathy [PDF]
Orbital and pretibial fibroblasts are targets of autoimmune attack in Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) and pretibial dermopathy (PTD). The fibroblast autoantigen involved in these peripheral manifestations of Graves' disease and the reason for the association
